my guy’s birthday

Happy Birthday, James! There’s so much I could share, but that will have to wait for another post. You are the very best!!

We made James his favorite cake today — Turtle cake. I set it out to cool and returned back to the kitchen later to find Anjelia digging it out with her hands and eating away. Bless her heart. She is a chocolate lover like no other three year old out there. The temptation must have been too much for her. When she saw the look on my face, the guilt set in and she began to sob tears of repentance. It was so cute that I had to capture the moment. Tomorrow I’ll start serving from the other end first!

All I did was buff the wood with some sand paper to take the shine off the finish. Then I spray painted it black with the cheapest Wal-mart spray paint. (I did prime it first with grey spray paint) After the paint dried I rubbed it down with fine steel wool. To make it look worn I rubbed hard on places that the chair would naturally be worn. I rubbed until the wood started to show through. It was a fun project. I also found a little table to sit by it and did the same thing with it. I’ll take a pic!
